Plains Coreopsis (Coreopsis tinctoria), also known as Tickseed or Goldenwave, is one of the easiest and most colorful native wildflowers to grow from seed. This semi-dwarf strain p roduces cheerful golden flowers with rich maroon centers on compact, well-branched plants that reach just 18–24 inches tall—making it especially well suited for borders, containers, and smaller garden spaces. Native to the plains of North America, Plains Coreopsis is a fast-growing annual that thrives in full sun and tolerates heat, drought, and poor soils with ease. Its airy, bloom-rich habit attracts butterflies, bumblebees, honeybees, and other native pollinators from summer through fall, while regular deadheading helps extend the flowering season even longer. Also prized as a cut flower, its long-lasting blooms and warm sunset colors make it a favorite for fresh arrangements and meadow-style plantings alike. Easy to grow and quick to bloom, Plains Coreopsis adds reliable color, pollinator value, and natural charm to nearly any garden. Each packet contains a minimum of 250 seeds. Show more
